Where is the phone tools for xp
Hi Steve,
That kind of software is not part of the Operating System (either Win98 = or WinXP), it is something the pc manufacturer added. The phone dialer = program does just that - it dials the phone. For voice communications, = you need a voice modem and supporting software. --=20 Best of Luck, Rick Rogers aka "Nutcase" MS-MVP - Win9x - = http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WinXP - Expert Zone - = www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Win98 Help - www.rickrogers.org "Steve Chapman" wrote in message = ...

Steve The OE phone dialler is just that - it dials. it doesn't pass the connection to PhoneTools. You have to use PhoneTools. So did you install XP over 98? If so, PhoneTools should be there and working. (well, mostly). Look for the exe file and try to run it. On my system, it is at: "C:\Program Files\PhoneTools\Phontool.exe" If you did a clean install of XP, you will have to reinstall PhoneTools from your original disks/CD. I did a clean install of XP and reinstalled PhoneTools. Under XP, everything works except the PhoneTools capture fax printer, which failed to install. I just scan docs and then use the "Attach Docs" facility. There is an update available from BVRP but I haven't bothered with it. (see http://www.bvrp.com/) --=20 Regards, Peter Wilkins |
